Weather

If you’re headed out on Veteran’s Day, grab your coat and take it slow on the roads! Forecasts say Greater New Haven is in for a wet, windy and chilly day Wednesday.

Morning rain is expected and temperatures will likely only reach the lower 50s. The region will likely see cloudy skies and north winds of 9 to 17 mph. That rain is expected to move out as the day goes on and Wednesday night is expected to be cloudy but dry.

But don’t stash that umbrella just yet — more rain could be on the way Thursday. Get the details on our weather page.

Traffic

If you’ll be in Orange later Wednesday and need to fill up, the best gas deal in town as of 7:30 a.m. is $2.14 per gallon at the Cumberland Farms on the Boston Post Road. Find the best deal near you with our real-time price map.

The Wednesday morning commute is starting off well in and around New Haven with no major crashes, construction projects or other delays to slow you down on Interstates 91 or 95 or Route 15.

Traffic on local roads is also moving at normal speed and Metro-North and Shoreline East trains are running on time to begin your day.

Share what you see on the road! Tweet it to @breaking203 and we might include it in our coverage. Make sure you include your name and the town where you took the photo!
